Cut It Out

Welcome to another challenge at Heart 2 Heart! 

This week, we are challenging you to cut it up! That's right - whether you use die cuts, Cricut cuts or your trusty scissors to fussy cut, we want to see your cuts on your project. You can use a single cut, a few cuts or multiple cuts.

This challenge is very timely as Close To My Heart currently has its Thin Cuts on sale until the end of March - any of those would be a terrific choice to use in this challenge :) You have until the end of the month to join this challenge or any of our March challenges.

Let's take a look at how our design team members decided to cut it up! 









You have until the end of March to link up with this or any of the following March challenges. 



Be sure to use some Close To My Heart products in your projects.
We can't wait to see what you create!

Please remember to use at least one Close to My Heart product. If that product is not obvious, please add a product list. 



Hope you will be inspired by the projects created by the Design Team! We'd love for you to leave a comment and link up before the end of the month, but don't be afraid to link up sooner so that you can make time for the other fun Challenges in March and earn a Perfect Attendance Badge.

Everything but the Kitchen Sink!

Welcome to this week's Heart 2 Heart Challenge...we are so happy you have joined us!


How will "Everything but the Kitchen Sink" inspire you?  A layout documenting a kitchen remodel or maybe a scrapbook page about your family Christmas cookie baking marathon?  How about using kitchen themed papers and embellishments for your card or layout?  Or possibly creating a card with layers and layers of paper and embellishments, using "everything but"...yes, you understand!

Our February guest designer, the talented Lisa Bzibziak, has a final fantastic project to inspire you.

We also hope you will be inspired by the projects created by the Design Team!














We will love to see your creations!  Please remember to use at least one Close to My Heart product.  If that product is not obvious, please add a product list.  While you have until February 28th to complete all the previous February challenges, you will have until March 3 to complete this one.  We are looking forward to being inspired by your creativity!
